Clericus the Questing Merchant
OK! So I thought about league and said, what would be unique in this game? AND BAM! MERCHANT! So, lets get to it! [slayer-jinx-wink]
LORE As a young yordle in bandle city, Clericus had but one love, Money. He hoarded all the gold he could find, and even sold some of the old items he'd bought from stores for higher prices, simply to make money. By his teenage years he had traveled across much of Runeterra and learned all kinds of things from all the best Merchants and Store-owners that were around. But that was not enough for Clericus. In search of rare and expensive materials Clericus traveled to the Shadow isles, a group of Islands that were rumored to take the lives of any souls foolish enough to venture there. It was there that Clericus died, but his want for gold did not, for Clericus rose from the grave to take up his trade for eternity, selling and buying goods. It seems not even the Black mists of the Shadow isles are able to control a Yordle, for Clericus is one of the few Undead that are able to travel freely throughout Runeterra.
ABILITIES Passive(warning this is gonna be really long) Master Merchant- Clericus is able to sell items to his teamates from his shop. However there are two drawbacks. A) Clericus must first complete the quests given to him in order to be able to sell Certain tier items, so if your laner is super fed, then they're still going to have to head back to the fountain in order to finish large items. B) Items that Clericus sells also cost a little more gold, I mean come on, yordle's gotta make a living right? The quests that Clericus receives are nothing special, they might be something like Collect dragon scales, which means your team needs to kill the dragon and you need to pick up the drop that it gives. They could include Catch Kruglings, or Collect Gromp Goo. In order to complete these quests Clericus must pick up the drop from killing or completing whatever task given, and then he has to report back to the fountin. In order to make sure that you don't need to be back to the fountain constantly you are given 5 quests at a time. After a certain number of quests you are awarded another tier of items that you could sell, such as now being able to sell BF swords and NLR's. Since you'll be spendin a lot of time at the shop, quests also give you XP that way Clericus doesn't fall behind in XP. Clericus's quests will appear as a star on the minimap allowing all players to see what he needs to do in order to complete quests. This allows for counterplay.
WHEW NOW THAT THE PASSIVE IS DONE...
Q Ability-Hextech Workers- Clericus creates two Hextech workers that will help him accomplish his quest. When near a quest target they will attack it for Clericus, and they will follow him around and attack whatever he targets, as well as award gold when destroyed by an enemy.. They serve as his primary source of damage since Clericus has LITERALLY NO AUTO ATTACK. I mean like Karthus except, no auto. Not even an animation. Their damage scales with his move-speed.
W Ability- Shadowspring shrine- Clericus can place down a shadowspring shrine that acts as a miniature fountain for all nearby. It is not as great of a heal and can be destroyed by enemy minions and champions. Think of it as a bard heal, except it's in a small AOE around a central point that heals all allies around it. Clericus can have up to two of these out at once, and they last for a total of 3 minutes.
E Ability-Ghost Form- Clericus turns into a ghost, unable to cast abilities and unable to be damaged for up to 10 seconds. This allows him to escape if he's in trouble, but it also allows him to get into position for team fights.
R Ability-Mors in avaritia- Clericus targets a nearby enemy, (as in about the radius of a vayne auto) and Explodes dealing massive true damage to that enemy and lessening damage to all enemies around them. When Clericus does this his respawn timer is cut down to 15 seconds. This ultimate has a very long cool down however.
I'm excited to see what people think of this idea, I would have artwork for you but I'm a pretty pathetic artist.
